provides starting materials for compounds of the present invention.

Compounds of the present invention have antidiarrheal and anti-inflammatory activity.

The anti-inflammatory properties of the instant compounds is demonstrated by their activity in an assay adapted from that described by Tonelli et al., Endocrinology, 77, 625 (1965) and detailed as follows:

0.1 Cubic centimeter of a phlogistic vehicle consisting of 4 parts of pyridine, 1 part of distilled water, 5 parts of diethyl ether and 10 parts of 2% Croton oil in ether (v/v) is applied topically to the right ear of each of a group of 8-10 rats, while the contralateral left air remains untreated and serves as the control. For the determination of activity of the test compound a similar group of animals is treated with the same volume of the phlogistic vehicle containing 400 mcg. of the compound. In addition, a third group of animals is treated in the same manner with the same volume of the phlogistic vehicle containing 80 mcg. of a standard topical anti-inflammatory agent (hydrocortisone).

Six hours after treatment the animals are lightly etherized and both ears are removed by means of a scissors, using anatomical structures of the ears as the line of demarcation. The ears are weighed individually and the percent increase in weight of the inflamed ear as compared to the untreated contralateral ear is determined. The percent increase in ear weight of the compound treated group is then compared statistically by Wilcoxon Rank Sum Analysis with the percent increase in ear weight of the control group which received the phlogistic acid alone.

The anti-diarrheal properties of the compounds of this invention are apparent from their activity in the following assay procedure.

To groups of 10 Charles River male mice weighing 30-40 g. is administered intraperitoneally a selected dose of the test compound suspended in an aqueous medium containing 0.1% of polysorbate 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate). A constant volume of 0.1 ml/10 g. body weight of the suspension is used for each animal.

Fifteen minutes after administration of the test compound, the mice are injected intraperitoneally with 50 μg/kg body weight of prostaglandin E₂, the dose previously demonstrated to produce diarrhea in more than 95% of control animals. Thereafter, each mouse is placed on a disc of filter paper in an individual glass cylinder and observed for a period of 15 minutes for the presence or absence of diarrhea. The compound is tested at a variety of dosage levels until at least one dose results in protection of more than 50% of the mice. The protective dose -- prD50 -- is calculated by the method of D. J. Finney, "Statistical Method in Biological Assay", Chapter 17, Hafner Publishing Co., New York, 1964, using the proportion of mice protected by each dose of compound.

Thus compounds of the present invention may be combined with pharmaceutically useful prostaglandins to suppress undesirable side effects such as diarrhea.

The following examples will further illustrate the present invention. They should not be construed as limiting the invention either in spirit or in scope as modifications both in materials and methods will be apparent to those skilled in the art. In these examples temperatures are indicated in degrees Centigrade (° C.) and quantities of materials in parts by weight unless parts by volume is specifically expressed.
